1. A herd of angry, runaway camels stampeded through the week, leaving only its dusty remains.
2. Someone in a time machine (perhaps HG Wells himself) time-traveled and actually stole the week and took it back to another century.
3. It's like when you lose that hour with daylight savings time, but with a week.
4. I am part bear and I hibernated a little early, then woke up when I realized it wasn't even close to winter.
5. A tiny mouse with a locket borrowed from the late Harry Houdini hypnotized me into thinking that a week had actually passed when in fact it didn't. (Which means that the week didn't really disappear, I simply perceived that it did.)
6. Stephen Hawking did it. (I am not sure what he did...but he probably did something since it involves the space-time continuum.)
7. The Force Was Not With Me.
8. I fell asleep in a meeting* and woke up centuries later, kind of like Rip Van Winkle, except that I have to re-experience everything like Bill Murray did in Groundhog Day.

10. (did you get what I just did there^?)
Okay, seriously, I have no idea what happened. It seems like I just blinked and it's Friday. Don't get me wrong. I love Friday!! But come on! I'd like to remember the rest of the days, too!
And, before I forget, I just want to say that my third grade class is loving this book:
love, love, love, love, love |
Teachers, this is an awesome read-aloud.
Okay...back to find what is left of the week.
Oh, I did get to hear Elana Johnson, Kirsten Hubbard, Jessi Kirby and John Corey Whaley talk about their books on Thursday night. I really wished I could have hung out with such coool authors for a while, but alas, the mommy chauffeur service was in high demand.

I LOVE R.L. LaFevers! So much so that I have been known to confiscate her books from my children so I get first crack.
I, too, had a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey week. Here's to next week slowing down a bit, yes?
That looks like a great book. I read out loud to my high school kids, and I think they would like it!
Hands down, I pick number 4. A mouse with a locket? Hypnotizing you? Awesome.
Glad to hear that your class loves Greasle from N. Fludd~ she's one of my favorites too!
Darn it~ clearly I meant number 5. Darn hibernating bear item slowed down my brain.
Never mind the week. What happened to the month???? I can't believe it's almost November.
Fabulous way to spend a week loved the pics!
I wanted to share with you that there's a new writing challenge/linky in town. Every weekend I'll share a PROMPT and every Wednesday everyone can link up there (poem or short story 500 max)response at the Storyteller Linky. This weeks prompt is a Picture. Check it out. :)
I also have a spooky book review and the weekend blog hop right now too! http://wordsinsync.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-book-review-voice-of-blood-by.html
Love to have you on bored, but have a great weekend either way. Shah.X
I will look into that book for my daughter! Looks cool!
How wonderful you went to an author event! I was hoping they'd come to the Midwest.
Time is flying. I can't believe Halloween is a week away! I hope the force is with you next week!
I agree with you--both about the weird week and about Nathaniel Fludd. R.L. LaFevers is amazing!
Three made me laugh the most. Thanks for the recommendation!
Definately the mouse. So cute! :)
You too?! I'm a no. 3 and 7.
But 8, 9, and 10 were pretty funny, pretty funny.
Oh, I loved 8 and 9 and yes I got it before I reached 10! Haha. But #5 with the tiny mouse is adorable.
Honestly, every week is like that for me. Wasn't it just August?
Thanks, Shelley. This post made me smile. And thanks for the rec for Nathaniel Fludd.
I love reasons 2 and 6. I laughed out loud for real :)
I know I've said this 8,000 times, but I love your posts.
Regarding your week, I think it was Stephen Hawking.
Especially like the camel one. Will look out for that book. HAGW.
" Stephen Hawking did it."
LOL!
My weeks disappear too. We must have the same camel problem.
Thanks for the congrats! I appreciate it!
Where did my MONTH go?
#9 Definitely.
